Does imessage work with iphones only?

Does Imessage only work for iphones or does it work with android too?

Ok folks, here is a question for you Mac gurus!
You said any iphone running iOs 5 and above?
what can you tell me about using iphone 3Gs phones?
my wife and my mother both have these phones.
They are iOS 6.1.x
and messages is the GREEN app for regular SMS
I wish to help my mother and wife to use the iMessage service.
Like you said above I set them each up with an APPLE ID
But, I have not been able to teach the or download any iMessage app because that I think is for later phones.
Is this correct?
Is iMessage a feature for only iPhone 4 and above?
If not how can I work with the MESSAGES app and not use the CELLULAR SMS *(currently with us is AT&T ala carte which is like owning a payphone ....not good)
thanks for any information
J. singleton makin  :-)

    AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
    WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

    Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV.  You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable.  After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

  • SBH80 - does it work with iPhone 4 at all?

    Bought SBH80 headphones last week because they can support 2 devices.
    Easily paired it to Xperia Z Ultra - looks cool and works fine
    My problem: cannot pair it with my second device:  IPhone (#4, updated to the latest software version 7.1.2)
    My Iphone does not list the SBH80 under the list of bluetooth devices. It lists only bluetooth from the car (paired earlier), keeps searching for new devices, claims it is visible itself --- and nothing happens.
    How can I make SBH80 visible to my IPhone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    believe me I tried to read it.
    the docu suggests:
    To manually pair your headset with a second device
    After manually pairing the first device with your headset, repeat the same instruction steps that describe how to manually pair your headset with another device.
    And
    To manually pair your headset with a Bluetooth device
    1Bluetooth device:Make sure the Bluetooth function is turned on.
    2Turn off your headset.
    3Headset: Press and hold down until the headset vibrates and a cyan-coloured notification light flashes continuously.
    4Bluetooth device: Scan for Bluetooth devices, then select Stereo Bluetooth Headset SBH80 in the list of available devices.
    5Bluetooth device: Follow the pairing instructions that appear on the screen.
    My point is that IPhone does not see SBH80 in the list of available devices.
    Can anyone confirm that SBH80 works with IPhone 4 at all?

  • Does imessage work with 3g?

  • Does this Work With Iphone? MOTOROLA S9 BLUETOOTH HEADSET

    I have heard that this works with Iphone? MOTOROLA S9 BLUETOOTH HEADSET ...does anyone know if it truly does or do you all know of a headset (over the head or behind the neck) one that does?
    < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >
    Thanks
    Bill

    I was in a wireless store when I inquired to a manager about this product (S9 Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Headset), and asked if it worked with both the iPod and phone capabilities of my iPhone....to which this manager replied that she knew for a fact that she had read on the apple support forums that this product did, in fact work with both music and phone functionality, once paired.
    I believe now that she was using this tactic to make more apple-endorsed-sales of this headset, and therefore get more commissions for her store. I mean every employee in the store was wearing them and toting that they worked flawlessly when asked, it was disgusting now that I think of it.
    I called the store back up and asked to speak to that manager again, and she maintained that what she read was in fact true, even when I told her that I found that the iPhone does not currently support this headset's bluetooth technology, and that possibly what she read was that once paired the headset works with the phone part of the iPhone but not the iPod part.....she railed that she was correct and that what she read supported both, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, here on apple's support forums.
    I think that wireless company employees with a new product that they cannot officially confirm compatibilities, should not go unchecked for spreading misinformation, merely to promote sales for walk-ins...its really terrible, especially on the biggest day of the shopping year and all the hype already created and money put into incentives to rush sales.
    Don't believe the hype. Even the phone capability of the S9 headset is not stereo for the iPhone. Really not worth over a $100 for this kind of minor functionality.

  • Infiniti and Acura Auto iPod Interface - Does It Work With iPhone

    The Infiniti, Audi and Acura Autos have an optional interface for the iPod that show the playlists etc. on the auto display. Has anyone used their iPhone's iPod mode with these interfaces succeasfully?
    Howard Kaplan

    I have discovered since my post the iPhone iPod mode DOES work with the Audi just fine. See this link:
    http://www.audiusa.com/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/aoa/company/owners.Par.0023.Fi le.pdf
    The only catch is the iPhone comes up with a message about NOT being compatible with the the accessory. If you wait till the message clears or hit the 'No' button it will then go on and connect and work, according to the Audi article.
    This of course assumes Apple has not done something new in the new release of the firmware to prevent working with accessories that are intended for iPod. This might be the case as Apple is very strict about giving details of the iPod interface and may lock out those devices not going through the Apple approval process. This would be a mistake in my opinion if the company has already spent time and effort to do an iPod interface as the iPhone is also sold as having having iPod functionality (but the slave drive piece).

  • Does iMessage work with Ichat?

    Will IChat work with Imessage or, will apple be creating an App for Imessage for Lion.

    Hi,
    In Messages you can have AIM accounts (Now listed as AOL)
    Some Apple IDs issued by Apple (@mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com) are also valid AIM names.
    This may mean you had entered the Apple ID you used for iMessages as an AIM account before.
    iMessages and AIM are separate Services and you cannot chat from one to the other.
    To be clear the app is called Messages.
    It can have an iMessages account based on a "registered" Apple ID.
    It can have AIM accounts which might be based on Apple IDs as above.
    It can have Jabber accounts which include Google Talk and Facebook Chat IDs
    It can use Yahoo IDs (Must be registered with Yahoo) for Text only chats.
    There is also a Bonjour account which can be enabled and this allows you to Chat on your LAN with other Macs (using iChat or Messages Bonjour accounts).
    Whilst you do not have to have the iMessages and the Bonjour accounts active you cannot delete them from the list in Messages.

  • Does iMessage work with proxy networks ?

  • Corporate Email does not work with iPhone

    I'm not a tech wiz so my apologies if this is very elementary. My IT guy said the iPhones will not work with MS Exchange on our server. We currently support Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices such as the Q, Treos, Blackjack. He did mention that my email could work through the POP server, but it wasn't secure. I've tried setting up the POP email to pull my corporate email, but keep getting the Authentication Failure message. Any suggestions on what to try?

    If Windows mobile devices can connect using ActiveSync, then your iPhone should be able to connect the same way.
    I used a HTC TytnII to sync my mail, calendar et contacts. I got the iphone and entered the exact same informations (server IP adress, user name and login) and it just worked.
    You need however to know the exact capitalization of your email adress, as described in your MS Exchange server. To know that, create a message in outlook, enter your name in the "to" field and double-click on your name. In the information box, you should have numerous tabs, and the last one gives you the capitalization (in the "SMTP" field).
    Good luck

  • Hands Free Link (HFL) on Acura TL does not work with iPhone 3G

    I pair iPhone successfully, and can pick up the incoming calls. However, when I make an outgoing call on iPhone, and tell it to use HFL, the call is not transferred to HFL.
    HFL works fine with my Treo 650, including picking the outgoing calls.
    Is there a software update or setting for either iPhone or Acura?
    Thanks,
    Inna

    InnaB, this is an issue with iPhone. This is just MY speculation, hope Apple will release a fix soon. You can also leave a feedback here http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and PLEASE enter specific information of vehicle like Model, year and type of radio or Audio System your vehicle is equipped with when you fill out that feedback. I have encountered similar issues with other makes of cars too as I do a lot of testing of cars.There are some vehicles that work fine and then there are some that exhibit concerns like yours.
    On a side note have you tried to RESET NETWORK settings and tried? Also unpair ALL BT sets, re-pair the iPhone to your vehicle and try it. Some instances I have encountered where the IiPhone was STILL paired to a HEADSET, it would NOT release it to work with another BT device. Some car audio systems have what's called an "Auto Pairing" which works awesome with iPhone, where you DONOT have to worry at all, start the vehicle, turn on audio system, iPhone auto pairs to that system. I donot know IF your vehicle is equipped with that design, check in the user manual of that system please.

  • "Import GPS from iPhone photos" does not work with iPhone 4

    I have not been able to get A3's "Import GPS from iPhone photos" to work with my iPhone 4, I get an empty list of photos. A3 is able to import photos from iPhoto 4 without any problems but I'm not able to get the GPS data.
    I'm not sure if it is an iPhone 4 or iOS4 issue, I tried my old iPhone 2G and "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is working fine.

    Where are you seeing this "Import GPS from iPhone" option?? I just tried importing a picture directly from my iPhone ,and it correctly had its place marked on the Places map. Am I misunderstanding what you all are trying to do??
